Space and an Apple

Put an apple in your hand. Look at it for more than a minute. Then look at the space around it. Look at the space that holds this apple. Then ask a question to yourself: Where does the space go when I put this apple on my hand? In other words, if apple has to exist as an independent reality, it must remove space and exist for itself; however, the moment apple removes the space, where will it be? A super-space that holds the space? Now, this will lead to another question, what holds this super-space? This question will continue to infinity. Is there any difference between space and an apple? Is there any difference between waves and an ocean?

I thought you were a smart guy but you don't know this simple thing. When you put a solid object in water, you see that it displaces water. When you step in a bathtub full of water, the water spills because the volume you occupy will result in the same volume of water displaced. Same thing with things in air but you don't see air and molecular bonding of air is not tight as solid or liquid so it flies around in a distributive manner.

Shahi baba, solid object displaces water, therefore it exist independent of water. The question here is of pure space. Where do solid object and water lie? Both lie in space. Do both displace space? If they do, where do they exist?
